Falling in love with beading again.I go through stages of what I liketo work on, and the beads are back,combined with paper crafts.I like making jewelry, but would ratherdo a free form type where anything goes...no rules.

Above is a mini notebook I covered with paper.

I punched holes along the edgeand started stringing beads on wire.

Using the same beads & technique,

I made two hearts and a dragonfly.

I made "bead soup", which is just an assortment

of beads mixed together in a butterfly dish and just wing it.

Today was a pink mix, even though some look like purple.

* Fun * Fun * Fun *

Time to bring out the many boxes of beads,and start creating again. :)

I have now joined the rest of the world with my new camera! I always took photos when the kids were growing up with my 35mm and when the digital came around, I was afraid I wouldn't know how to use it, so I never got one. Now that the family gave me one for Mother's Day...I am in the loop! I am picture happy! It is so easy and way too much fun! I took pictures of everything! Posted a few below of cards I made (see Happy Mother's Day below) There is no stopping me now!

What a great day I had!Thanks family.The kids gave me a digital camera,Gina replaced the finches thatthe neighborhood cat set free,and Rico, (with my help) gave mea pair of Swarovski crystal flip flops.
